Purification and Characterization of an Extracellular Alkaline Solvent-stable Metalloprotease Secreted from Newly Isolated Bacillus sp. DEM05: Optimization of Protease Production.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Proteases play an important role in food, leather, detergent, and medical technologies.

Objectives

In the current study, an alkaliphilic solvent-stable thermotolerant metalloprotease was isolated from Bacillus sp. DEM05.

Material and methods

For culture optimization, carbon, and nitrogen sources as well as incubation temperature, pH, and time were examined.

Results

Herein the highest outcome for bacterial growth and protease production was obtained after 72 h incubation (pH 7) at 37 °C. DEM05 protease was successfully purified and the specific activity of the protease was 1075 U.mg^-1. The purity of the enzyme was verified by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis as a single band of 30 kDa. The optimal activity of the enzyme was at pH 10 and 50 °C. H₂O₂, SDS, Triton X-100, Zn²⁺, Co²⁺, and Cu²⁺ could increase the protease activity. EDTA inhibited the protease activity, revealed that it can be classified as a metalloprotease. The enzyme was compatible with the water-miscible and water-immiscible organic solvents and proteolyzed several substrates, implying the wide substrate specificity.

Conclusions

The results brought convincing evidence that DEM05 protease could be recruited as a novel prevailing protease that can be earmarked on industrial and medical technologies.

Project description:IntroductionProteases exhibit a wide range of applications, and among them, alkaline proteases have become a prominent area of research due to their stability in highly alkaline environments. To optimize the production yield and activity of alkaline proteases, researchers are continuously exploring different fermentation conditions and culture medium components.MethodsIn this paper, the fermentation conditions of the alkaline protease (EC 3.4.21.14) production by Bacillus subtilis BS-QR-052 were optimized, and the effect of different nutrition and fermentation conditions was investigated. Based on the single-variable experiments, the Plackett-Burman design was used to explore the significant factors, and then the optimized fermentation conditions, as well as the interaction between these factors, were evaluated by response surface methodology through the Box-Behnken design.Results and discussionThe results showed that 1.03% corn syrup powder, 0.05% MgSO4, 8.02% inoculation volume, 1:1.22 vvm airflow rate, as well as 0.5% corn starch, 0.05% MnSO4, 180 rpm agitation speed, 36°C fermentation temperature, 8.0 initial pH and 96 h incubation time were predicted to be the optimal fermentation conditions. The alkaline protease enzyme activity was estimated to be approximately 1787.91 U/mL, whereas subsequent experimental validation confirmed it reached 1780.03 U/mL, while that of 500 L scale-up fermentation reached 1798.33 U/mL. This study optimized the fermentation conditions for alkaline protease production by B. subtilis through systematic experimental design and data analysis, and the activity of the alkaline protease increased to 300.72% of its original level. The established model for predicting alkaline protease activity was validated, achieving significantly higher levels of enzymatic activity. The findings provide valuable references for further enhancing the yield and activity of alkaline protease, thereby holding substantial practical significance and economic benefits for industrial applications.
